Ship Bottom Criminal Attorney

If you or your loved has abeen issued a summons to a scheduled court appearance in Ship Bottom Municipal Court or Ocean County Superior Court, then it is important for you to understand what charges you are facing and the options that you have before you. Regardless of the type of case, we provide the experience, access, and accountability that you deserve and that your case requires. It is important that you understand your options at the outset of your case and understand how to achieve positive results. We help clients facing the following:

McGuckin Law utilizes various defense strategies depending upon the facts of the case and the existence of aggravating or mitigating factors. First, we determine whether we can aggressively fight the case. This means that we attentively view the facts of the case to determine whether the State can likely meet its burden of proof were the matter to go to trial. The existence of search and seizure issues, mistaken identity, and other factors can come into play and, if appropriate, we will file and argue a motion to dismiss or suppress.

While looking into the facts of the case we will explore the various possible diversionary programs afforded to you. Pre-Trial Intervention, Veteran Diversionary Program, Mental Health Diversionary Program, Conditional Discharge, Municipal PTI, and Drug Court are all viable options if certain requirements are met. Sometimes, entry into these programs is the most favorable outcome.

Finally, we will fight your case procedurally. We are entitled to all evidence against you that the State will use to prove its case. Sometimes, we are not granted complete discovery or the State has not afforded Defendant various procedural rights and can achieve successful outcomes for those reasons.

We are a proactive law firm and urge our clients to be similarly proactive. Often, when clients are facing drug, alcohol, assault, theft or domestic violence offenses we support their entry into counseling before the case actually begins. It is our experience, that when appropriate to do so, clients demonstrate the State and to the Court that they take the charges seriously and desire to modify their behavior. This can lead to downgrades or even dismissals.
